Salmon farming companies in B.C. are continuing to achieve the high sustainability commitments they have set. Cermaq Canada has announced that its Mussel Rock farm, located in Clayoquot Sound on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, has been certified to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) salmon standard. This is the company’s third farm to reach the standard.

Marine Harvest Canada has successfully attained BAP certification for 11 farm sites along the B.C. coast, the first set of sites to earn BAP certification under the group farm pilot program developed by the Global Aquaculture Alliance.
